Initial investigation of medical science related to COVID‐19 shows that it is a communicable and virus disease. The origination of these types of viral diseases is only because of the imbalance in the biosphere or ecosystem. Whole world is wondering to get answer to the significant question that when the normal life will started after this epidemic crisis? The answer of this question has to be found out by human being himself. Human being on this earth is considered as one of the sensible species. But the level of destruction carried out in the form of pollution (air pollution, water pollution, soil erosion, etc.) and deforestation are main certain reasons which create a lot of damage to natural resources. Now in such situation, emergence of this COVID‐19 is not unexpected. In this situation, special attention has to be given to investigate the adverse impact of human activities on natural resources. The main purpose of this study is to briefly highlight the various initiatives of the WHO along with Government of India in order to manage the emergency situation related to COVID‐19 for Indian population. In order to highlight the various initiatives adopted by Indian Government in this situation, “Situation reports” issued by World Health Organization have been properly studied in order to explain the main crux of those reports. Till April 23, 2020, total numbers of 12 reports are published on the website of WHO. Results of the study reveal that although India also faces the similar dangerous problem of this virus but the initiatives of the Indian Government are admirable because of those, third stage of COVID‐19 (community transfer) has not reached.
